I Thought Doing More Was the Way⊠Until I Paused and Restructured There was a time I believed the only way to grow was to say yes to everything: every service request, every client, every opportunity. But hereâs the truth: that approach nearly burned me out â and worse, it diluted my effectiveness. Things changed when I made a decision to stop doing everything myself. I hired a project administrator. I re-evaluated the services we offered. I leaned more into strategy and stepped away from the âalways-onâ mindset. One of the best decisions I made? Focusing on high-impact services and working on the business, not just in it. That shift unlocked new clarity â and better results for my clients. Sometimes slowing down is what actually speeds things up. The goal isnât hustle. Itâs sustainable excellence. #BusinessMindset #ThinkPlanAct #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #WorkSmart #EvaFinancialSolutions

I'm Paying Too Much Tax on My Salary â When Will I Get It Back from SARS? This is a common concern for many salaried employees. You look at your payslip each month and wonder, âWhy is so much tax being deducted?â It can be frustrating, especially when you feel that your employer isnât accounting for all the possible deductions that could reduce your tax burden. The question then arises: will SARS ever give any of that tax back? đ§Ÿ Why You Pay PAYE South Africaâs tax system uses Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE), which means your employer deducts tax from your salary each month based on SARS's tax tables. This is designed to ensure that you donât owe a large lump sum of tax at the end of the year. However, sometimes you may feel like too much tax is being deducted, especially if your employer hasnât factored in some of your personal deductions, which could lower the amount of tax you owe. In the PAYE system, your employer takes care of the tax calculations for you, but they only have access to the information theyâre given. For example, if youâre making contributions to a retirement annuity or have medical expenses that exceed whatâs covered by your medical aid, these may not be accounted for when calculating your tax at the source. If you have more than one employer, each employer only works out the PAYE based on the salary they pay you. However, SARS will aggregate the income and workout the tax on the aggregated income. â
Will You Get a Refund? The good news is that, yes, you may be entitled to a refund when you submit your annual tax return â typically between July and January. The refund usually occurs if one of the following applies: Overpayment of PAYE: If youâve paid more tax than necessary during the year, youâre eligible for a refund when you file your tax return. Unaccounted deductions: If your employer hasnât included deductions like retirement annuity contributions, medical expenses, or other eligible tax credits, you can claim these on your tax return, which could result in a refund. Some common scenarios in which youâre more likely to receive a refund include: Contributing to a retirement annuity (RA): Contributions to an RA are tax-deductible, which means they reduce your taxable income. Medical expenses not covered by your medical aid: These expenses may qualify for tax credits, reducing your tax liability. Travel allowance: If you receive a travel allowance and have kept a valid logbook, you can claim deductions for business travel. Donations to SARS-approved charities (Section 18A): Donations to registered charities are tax-deductible, which can further reduce your taxable income. Itâs important to note that if SARS finds that your employer under-deducted PAYE throughout the year, you may owe money instead of getting a refund. đĄ How Salaried Employees Can Reduce Tax Fortunately, there are several strategies available to reduce your overall tax burden and potentially increase your refund. Some practical and legal options include: Contribute to a Retirement Annuity (RA): You can deduct up to 27.5% of your taxable income (up to R350,000 per year) by contributing to an RA. This directly reduces the amount of tax you owe to SARS. Claim Medical Expenses: If youâve paid out-of-pocket medical costs for yourself or your dependants that arenât covered by your medical aid, you may be able to claim additional medical tax credits. Logbook for Travel Claims: If you receive a travel allowance, you can only claim deductions for business travel. Ensure you maintain a valid logbook that tracks your business-related trips. Without a logbook, you won't be eligible for these deductions. Donate to Section 18A Charities: Donations to qualifying charities are tax-deductible, with a limit of 10% of your taxable income. Work with a Tax Professional: If you have multiple income sources, investments, or rental income, itâs a good idea to consult with a registered tax practitioner. They can help you maximise your refund, ensure compliance, and reduce your liability. â±ïž When Will I Get the Refund? If SARS owes you money and your return isnât flagged for review or audit, the refund will typically be paid within 1â3 weeks after the assessment is completed. However, if your tax return is flagged, it could take longer. đ„ Final Thought Itâs not just about how much you earn â itâs about how well you plan.

There was a time when I said yes to every opportunity, chased every lead, and worked late nights thinking that was the only way to build success. The shift happened when I stopped only hustling and started thinking like a CFOâeven in my own business. I built systems. I learned to say no. I focused on real valueânot just being busy. Now I serve clients better, grow smarter, and still have energy left at the end of the day. Hustle got me going. A business mindset is taking me further. If you're stuck in "doing everything," maybe it's time to shift to "building something." #BusinessMindset #FinanceWithPurpose #WorkSmarter #Entrepreneurship #SMEAdvisory #ValueOverHype #BusinessGrowth #SmartStrategy
